Many english-speaking travellers I've met in my trips, have told me that the spanish in Chile is very hard to understand. It doesn't matter how many countries in south america they've visited, they always have a hard time understanding us Chileans! I think more than spanish, in Chile we speak Chilean, we have our own words, we talk fast, don't finish some words or avoid the letter "s". I was wondering what you guys think, was it hard to communicate with locals when you visited Chile?
